Bolo Ties and More Double Denim
When I wrote my first post about double denim last month, I was going to jokingly suggest a bolo tie as the perfect accessory for the look. But by the time I got to that part of the post, I was seriously into the idea. Then gorgeous blogger The Shoe Girl emailed me a link…
Daring Damsels in Double Denim
After I wrote about the double-denim look and predicted it would become a genuine fashion trend, a few gorgeous outliers volunteered to try the style or a variation thereof while others offered evidence that they were leaders of the pack. (Please click the bloggers’ photos to see their full posts and additional pictures.) Mai of…
Single White Female X 2
The title of the 1992 thriller Single White Female always bothered me due to its lack of realism. In the movie, an attractive New York chick played by Bridget Fonda needs a roommate, so she places this ad. A less attractive chick played by Jennifer Jason Leigh moves in and starts copying Bridget’s entire life,…
Wangsta Shoe, Purchased in Phoenix
My old K. Jacques wedges were so stretched out that they were falling off my feet, so I got these to replace them. I discovered that my summer shoes were in a bad way when I sneaked off to Phoenix for a few days this week. While I was there, I saw gorgeous blogger Practical…
Sunglasses and Seafood
Check out my new shades. This is my third pair of round sunglasses. I still have these and these. Gorgeous blogger Jennine gave the latest ones to me. She bought them in Germany, so “Danke schön,” Jennine! Jennine’s husband is German so she’s picked up some of the language from him. That’s what led to…
Update #2 on Janet, a Blogger in Need

Belated New York Fashion Week Tales
Like I said in a previous post, I was pretty busy during New York Fashion Week. When I wasn’t busy, I was delirious. I managed to squeeze in a few shows but, unfortunately, not Vena Cava‘s. I was getting dressed that morning with one eye on the computer when the news of Alexander McQueen’s suicide…
My Hearts Will Go On
I didn’t get to a lot of shows during New York Fashion Week because I had a big non-fashion-related event on Saturday, February 13, followed by the all-day Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence conference on Monday, February 15. The Saturday event caused me to miss my designing friend Zang Toi‘s show for the first time…

Gorgeous singer VV Brown is wearing the Wendy Brandes swear rings on pages 72 and 73 of the March 2010 issue of SPIN Magazine! Here’s page 72. VV and I must be soulmates because she’s wearing a version of the hairdo I wore last October. You can check out page 73 on my Facebook fan…
